Since May 2023, we have been offering Functional CrossFit classes, a brand-new concept in Utrecht. The last few years we noticed that more members were enjoying our conditioning classes, which feature longer endurance workouts and non-technical movements, but lack a strength part. While a part of our members like to work on more advanced movements/gymnastics during our regular CrossFit classes, we also see a large group of members that want to come in twice a week, sweat, become fitter for their everyday life and be done within 60 minutes and not spend a lot of time on improving technique or working on movements that feel like out of reach.
Together with the fact that Dom City wants to increase the amount of fit people in Utrecht, we decided to introduce a new concept, including a very competitive price. We introduced Functional CrossFit in Utrecht.
At our new location at Kanaalweg 29c in Utrecht, we have over 500 m² dedicated to Functional CrossFit. This new program includes all classic CrossFit movements without a barbell. In every work out of the day there is a strength part with for example kettlebells, dumbbells, or heavy D-balls and a conditioning piece. We emphasize intensity, strength, and endurance, helping members achieve peak physical condition and preparing them for any challenge life throws their way!
What is the difference between Classic CrossFit and Functional CrossFit?
In our Functional CrossFit classes, although we don’t use barbells, the setup of the workouts closely resembles our Classic CrossFit sessions. Even without barbells, the strength component can be demanding enough, especially with larger sets and heavy kettlebells & dumbbells for those who seek intensity. The cardio aspect is extended since we don’t need to allocate time for explaining technical movements. This format allows for a more streamlined and continuous workout experience.
